Famous
atheist, and philosopher Antony
Flew; regarding
DNA evidence that supports Intelligent design, he writes;
"It's the enormous complexity of the
number of elements and the enormous subtlety of the ways they work
together. The meeting of these two parts at the right time by chance
is simply minute. It is all a matter of the enormous complexity
by which the results were achieved, which looked to me like the
work of intelligence" (There Is a God , 2007, p. 75).
"I now believe that the universe was brought into existence
by an infinite Intelligence," he affirms. "I believe that
this universe's intricate laws manifest what scientists have called
the Mind of God. I believe that life and reproduction originate
in a divine Source."
"Why do I believe this, given that I expounded and defended
atheism for more than half a century? The short answer is this:
this is the world picture, as I see it, that has emerged from modern
science. Science spotlights three dimensions of nature that point
to God. The first is the fact that nature obeys laws. The second
is the dimension of life, of intelligently organized and purpose-driven
beings, which arose from matter. The third is the very existence
of nature" (pp. 88-89).
(Darwin,
'The Origin of Species')
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed
which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive,
slight modifications, my theory would
absolutely break down.”
Darwin’s
theory of evolution has now proven to be broken down!
— Michael Behe,
Biochemist, 'Darwin's Black Box', 'The Biochemical Challenge
to Evolution', Free Press, New York, 1996.)
Behe writes;
“To Darwin, the cell was a ‘black box’ –
its inner workings were utterly mysterious to him. Now, the black
box has been opened up and we know how it works. Applying Darwin’s
test to the ultra-complex world of molecular machinery and cellular
systems that have been discovered over the past 40 years, we can
say that Darwin’s theory has ‘absolutely
broken down’.”
In his book, Behe shows how, at the one-cell level, life is a self-contained
system of indispensable moving, chemical parts, so mutually dependent
on each other that the absence of even one part, the system would
not exist!
“The
speculations of the Origin of Species turned out to be wrong…
it is ironic that the scientific facts throw Darwin out..”
— Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe,
'Evolution from Space', New York: Simon and Schuster, 1981),
pp. 96–97.
(Newsweek,
July 20, 1998, pp. 47–52; November 9, 1998, p. 88)
Surprising discoveries about
the universe point to an intelligent creator,
and naturalistic science that seemed to provide answers to all questions
is now recognized as having serious limitations.

The
evolutionary theories of Darwin that supposedly did away with
the need for a Creator God have come under increasing criticism
in recent decades.
A growing number of scholars—among them cosmologists, biologists,
biochemists and paleontologists—are admitting
that the theory of evolution simply does not and
cannot explain the origin of the
earth, the origin
of life or the origin of species. (see Creation
and Evolution, Hayward, 1995; Debating Darwin, Christian Century,
July 15–22, 1998, pp. 678–681).
Even Darwin
himself doubted his theory of evolution;
(Darwin,
C., 1872. 'Origin of Species', Sixth Edition. Senate,
London, chpt. 6)
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances
for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting
different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical
and chromatic aberration, could have formed by natural selection,
seems, I freely confess, absurd
in the highest degree possible."
For
years, biology textbooks have referred to a law known as fixity
of the species—that there seems to be a genetic limit to
the amount of variation that can occur within a species. Plant
and animal breeders are aware of these limits. Charles Darwin
was aware of the variety that could be produced by breeding domestic
animals (such as dogs, pigeons, cows and horses). Darwin observed
striking variations among finches and turtles on islands in the
Pacific Ocean. In formulating his theory of evolution, he speculated
that, given enough time, these small variations could eventually
produce totally new species—that natural forces alone could
produce new life forms without the need for a creator.
However, time has exposed serious
problems with Darwin’s ideas. No
one has ever observed a new species coming into existence in nature
in this way. In spite of many attempts, neither
has anyone been able to produce new species by selective breeding.
Dogs may vary in size, color and many other characteristics, but
they are still dogs. Horses are still horses. Fruit flies are
still fruit flies. The Bible clearly states many times that God
created each type of plant and animal “according to its
kind” (Genesis 1:11–12, 21–25). There
is no evidence from the biological world that one species can
turn into another. The Bible also indicates that
God created human beings after the “God kind”—which,
as we will see, has profound implications for the purpose of human
life. Even the fossil record supports this fundamental biblical
principle.
(Darwin,
'The Origin of Species', p.323) speculated that intermediate
forms of life must have existed as species evolved, yet he knew
this was not the actual case. He wrote: “Why
then is not every geological formation and every stratum full
of such intermediate
links? Geology
assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain,
and this, perhaps, is the most
obvious and gravest objection that can be urged against my theory”

Darwin
assumed these intermediate
links would
be found, but well over 100 years after his book was
published they are still missing!
This absence of transitional forms
has been called “the trade secret” of paleontology.
When species appear in the geologic record they appear fully formed.
This makes sense if they were created. The evidence of the fossil
record lends further support to the biblical concept of the fixity
of species and a real God that operates according to laws and rules.
"If I knew of any Evolutionary
transitional's, fossil or living, I would certainly have included
them in my book, 'Evolution' "
(Dr. Colin Patterson, evolutionist and senior Paleontologist
at the British Museum of Natural History, which houses 60 million
fossils)...
